Once you flash the stock rom back using odin, try doing Wipe data/ factory reset and Wipe cache partitions from Recovery Mode. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Just download one new firmware of your model only
And while spliting it do make wipe packages dont make non-wipe package and just flash them and see the result , i hope these will work because it erase all data /partitions of the Phone.

I have a very similar problem. I tried to flash a ROM on my ace-i and got stuck at the boot logo. I cant get into recovery mode. The download mode works fine so, I tried to flash the stock rom using odin but the phone is not even connecting, I think it is because I have USB debugging off on the phone. I am not sure what to do! I have attached a pic of what i have done on odin. I know the ID:COM thing should be yellow but its not! I have the USB driver also installed!

[Q] Boot loop, please help

Hi Pros,
I am very new to this and just created by ID after my phone went into a boot loop.
I have been using a galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) that i bought from a friend for the last 3 months. It worked perfect and I loved it. However today while calling a friend the phone hanged. I tried to restart and nothing happened so i pulled the battery out and restarted it. Since then the phone has been continuously restarting. On researching i realized that there is a term for this - "boot loop".
I tried the Volume Up + Power + Home and went into recovery mode. I wiped the data and wiped the cache. It did not help.
I tried the Volume down + Power + Home and went into Download Mode - ODIN (this would mean my friend flashed it before he gave it to me). I downloaded a custom stock ROM and used ODIN 3.0 to update it. It successfully finished but the phone still keeps restarting. I can only get till the screen to select the language and then it restarts.
I am very confused now and need help to fix this.
If you can get to the language screen then it's not a boot loop.. I'm sure..
Can you boot into recovery using vol up + home + power.. What do you see then?
What stock firmware did you flash and where from? Is the right region?

Thanks for replying. I get the language screen but before I can select anything it just re-boots.
In recovery i see the following options
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
How can I know if the region is right? I have it from a friend so I am not sure what region I am looking for. I download the stock ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610.
What do you think might the problem be?
In that section do a factory reset then clear the cache then factory reset again..
Then install the Poland stock rom
Edit: You may have to change the country code after its been flashed
Hey demon ! Is your phone rooted ?

I did a factory reset -> clear cache -> factory reset from the recovery mode and installed the Poland stock ROM. It completed successfully as well. However the same problem persists. The phone starts, boots and shows the Samsung icon and then in about 15 seconds again restarts.
The following is the log from the ODIN.

I assume I am rooted if i can go into ODIN mode using Volume down + Home + Power. I got the phone from a friend who I cannot trace now. So I am at your mercy.
Root is a word i just heard today when I wanted to fix my phone.
Most probably not rooted considering tha your recovery doesn't contain the option to flash from sd card ...

Rest the phone and cache again

Download that top nightly and extract it then let odin find the file and flash

Thanks Guys. I now understand that I am not rooted. I am downloading the CyanogenMod.
How do you think can this happen? Is some App causing the issue? I am try to understand that might be the cause of this. Can this be a hardware issue?
It could well have been an app that caused the problem in the first place but it's more likely the ROM.. Now since your not sure what ROM it was on its hard to Pont a finger at why..
When you format all apps and data are gone. Except the stuff in internal and external storage.. I.e Music and photos..
I don't think think that it is a hardware issue as it's most likely it would not boot to language menu.. Could be wrong though
Keep us informed on how it's going!
I personally don't like odin ... my advice is to roit your phone and then you'll have more options to fix issues

Yeh I agree it's easier without it but..
How can he do that when it's in a boot loop.. The issue at hand is he has no ROM installed..
I rooted my phone using sgs3 toolkit by Mike , you don't need a rom installed jyst boot in download mode and follow the instructions.

Guys,
Here is the latest update. I downloaded the stock ROM based on the model number and region and flashed my phone using ODIN.
The issue still persists, but in a very weird manner. The phone boots, then stays on for about 60 seconds. During this 60 seconds, you can call, text, surf and do whatever you want. Then the Phone re-starts. Then the phone is usable again for some time before re-starting.
Does this give you pros any idea on what might be wrong? Is this a boot-loop?
Latest Update:-
After a 4-5 restarts, the phone did not restart for the last one hour. I could text and even check my voice mails. The phone is the stock ROM and I have not installed any apps yet.
Then it all started again with a different frequency. Reboot and phone usable for 60 seconds-15 minutes and then restart!!!!
Now I am confused even more and want to get to the bottom of this issue.
1. Can this be a hardware issue?
2. Why did the issue start in the first place?
3. When I flashed ROM from a different region, can the phone detect that and restart it?
4. Is it because I am not rooted?
5. If I root the device, can i install ROM from different region?
Please pros, any guesstimate is appreciated.
Is not a boot loop mate. Endless reboots without start is .

[Q] Bootloop and can't flash via Odin

Hey guys,
I recently flashed null_24 custom rom and after rebooting the phone it got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s3 logo.
When trying to enter CWM (Touch recovery) i get a black screen and it seems to freeze.
I was able to enter download mode and tried to flash stock rom via Odin.
I tried rebooting my PC and using different USB ports but it failed every time...
Then i tried to recover my phone via kies but it got stuck at 0%
Is there anything i can do or is my phone broken for good?
I could use any help!
Thanks in advance
You need to give more detail.
Do you have an internation or usa s3?
What error did you get with odin?
If you flashed a rom image for a different phone then your phone is probably bricked. Likewise if you get pit errors in odin. If thats the case then it needs a repair job.

The log doesnt look good. I would not mess with it until somebody more knowledgable can help.
If you try things like pit files you may make it beyond repair by yourself and need to send it somewhere for repair.
Sorry I cant really help you further and I hope you get it sorted.

You could try install a kernel only in odin. One with a recovery. Speedmod maybe? This may give you your recovery back and odin might let it Flash.

I've had the same issue a couple of times, all I did was keep trying to flash the stock firmware, and eventually it worked.
I have a better experience with some older firmwares than the newest ones.
Otherwise I'd try as other mentioned, flash a recovery and wipe data and all that, and then flash firmware.
Hope it sorts out for you!
This is so frustrating!
I tried flashing the kernel hundred times but i get the same errorlog as before...
I'll try to flash older firmwares like you said ratatattata

now that is odd! restoring EFS should have bricked the phone! but that's not a hard brick. as you have flashed XXEMG4, now you have a chance of flashing a f/w newer than that(like XXEMG5 or XXMEG6)! try flashing either of these. if the problem still persists, send it to service center.
:good:
have you tried removing the battery for a few minutes ?

Yes i can flash stock firmware using Odin also able to install Custom rom using CWM. the problem is just the booting up, im downloading I9300XXEMG6_I9300PHNEMG2_PHN.zip now. Do you think the service center will repair my phone even if they see i have flash counts?

Yes, i took the battery,SIM,memory card out and put it back
have you tried kies? if not do this, BEFORE CONNECTING PHONE TO PC start kies go to upgrade and initialisation. enter your phone model number and serial number. put phone in download mode, vol down +home+power NOW CONNECT PHONE TO PC. this should force kies to upgrade your firmware

they will repair what ever may happen to your phone but will charge you. did you try flashing CM10.2 roms or aosp custom roms?
since odin is not solving your issue than perhaps kies may fix it. i would try kies before service center as it probably will work .even if it does not solve the looping it would leave your phone with official status and may even allow you to get your phone fixed under warranty. after all kies and ota updates are the only official ways to upgrade your firmware under warranty.
Ok thanks, ill keep you guys posted on the status of my phone
XXEMG6 didnt work for me still stuck on the boot loop and also samsung kies, is there any other way i can fix my phone before going to the service center?
maybe flash an emergency firmwareRescue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825272 these firmwares have pit partitions if you flash pit better make sure its the right one

send it to SC before something very bad happens to your phone. you should've been careful while flashing. hope you get your phone in a good working condition.

Odin, stuck on NAND Write Start

Hey Guys,
I'm sure all of you get lots of these questions, however I have been trying for a couple of days to get this S3 going so I can just asking for help.
My main issue is I cannot flash any ROM's via Odin.
Here is some background infomation:
I started with a stock Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 International 16GB model.
Flashed the correct version of Cyanogen Mod for my Model/Sub Model.
I install this rom by flashing CWM (Clock Work Recovery Mod) and installing the update.zip from my external SD card.
I have done this before with other Samsung devices, No big deal, just factory rest and wipe the davik cache and flash the new ROM.
Well I decided to backup the original ROM via CWM's backup option. The backup completed fine but I backed it up to the phones internal storage instead of my External SD card. The new ROM worked fine till it ran out of space. So I selected the Delete option back in CWM to remove the backup file, rebooted the phone only to find I was still using 8 or so GB of storage.
So my phone was not happy. No room to download updates or save new pictures, etc.
This week I decided to flash the stock ROM back over the phone. For some reason the firmware was incorrect for that model or something was wrong with the phone.
After looking around I decided to flash a .pit file for the Galaxy S3, One problem, I did not know that different storage sizes of S3's have different .PIT files. However it flash and I still could not restore my phones ROM.
So after a few days of looking around I downloaded the stock ROM from Sam-Mobile.com for my phone and country and download GT-I9300_mx_20120220 PIT for for what I read and understood was for a 16GB GT-I9300.
So the new PIT file flashes fine, however I still cannot flash any new ROMS. I have tired the stock rom from Sam-Mobile or trying to flash Recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300.tar (clock work recovery mod).
None of these flash. Odin3.04 just sits on "NAND Write Start!!" and there is a blue "downloading" bar that is across the screen and that's it.
Nothing else happens. I have also attached a screen shot of this.
I have a water damaged 16GB GT-i9300T that I have used to create a .PIT file from Heimdall, But that sits there for about 10 Min before Odin says "Unable to get pit map"
I have also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796
I get all the way to shorting out the resistor (R313) on the PCB but the phone does not turn on and fails to display "SD Card Mode"
So, can anyone help me?
I know it might be a long shot but at this point I'm willing to try anything. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Mitchell
Flashing just a pit file usually results in a hard brick.
You can try a rescue firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6&nocache=1&z=2665989794768393
But you probably need a new motherboard.
Thanks for that!, The recovery firmware failed to flash but the pit file flashed allowing me to install Cyanogen Mod.
Thanks for your help on this one :good:

For getting error when flash in Odin no matter what kind of error. Just need to flash out and repartition it for pit file and you get back yours phone back. The problem is the pit file must be suit to flash your phone. If not no matter how you flash it still the same.

If still failed sry to tell you need to change motherboard aredy. As I faced such issues on my n3 and I able to recovery well using my pit files via Odin without fail. So might be your hardware problem aredy.
The sboot.bin file is not flashing because the rom is either not for the phone or the phone bootloader is too new.
Are you a using the original USB cable?
